A multi-crypto ETF is an investment fund that holds a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, within a single security.
Nate Geraci, the President of ETF Store, has forecasted that an ETF issuer will soon file for a combined spot Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) ETF. Geraci highlighted the rapid progression toward index-based and actively managed crypto ETFs.
This forecast aligns with evolving regulatory landscapes and increasing investor demand for diversified crypto investment options.
Multi-Crypto ETFs on the Way?
The concept of multi-crypto ETFs, while still far-fetched for now, is gaining traction as institutional and retail interest grows. Nate Geraci’s prediction comes at a time when the market is experiencing a huge shift in the regulatory landscape, and the demand for crypto ETFs is rapidly rising. Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated $17 billion in inflows, while Ethereum ETFs are projected to attract $15 billion in their first year of trading.

New ETF designs and risk management methods could tackle current issues, making it easier to create hybrid ETFs that focus on well-known cryptocurrencies or specific themes. As asset managers get ready for a move towards more varied and volatile ETF options, multi-crypto ETFs might soon become a reality.
A multi-crypto ETF is an investment fund that holds a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, within a single security. This type of ETF offers investors broad exposure to the crypto market, spreading risk across multiple assets and reducing the impact of volatility.
Ethereum ETFs to Begin Trading This Week
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) recently revealed that five spot Ethereum ETFs will start trading on July 23, pending final regulatory clearance. This announcement follows the SEC’s May 23 approval for listing spot Ether ETFs.
The ETFs slated for launch are the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF, Fidelity Ethereum Fund, Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF, VanEck Ethereum ETF, and Franklin Ethereum ETF. To compete for market share, many issuers are planning to temporarily lower or waive fees when these products become available.
Potential for Solana ETFs
The potential for Solana ETFs remains a topic of keen interest and speculation. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are progressing, Solana faces unique challenges. Solana, known for its rapid transaction speeds and high performance, is often seen as a strong contender for future ETF inclusion. However, regulatory hurdles could delay its approval.
Despite optimism from industry figures like 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder and VanEck’s Matthew Sigel, the regulatory environment poses significant barriers. Sigel has criticized the futures market requirements for being a potential delay tactic. The SEC has already received Solana ETF applications, including one from 21Shares with Coinbase as the custodian.
As the regulatory landscape evolves, Solana’s chances of securing an ETF will depend on overcoming these challenges and adapting to market demands.
